Offshore Platforms
The topside of an oilrig encompasses the surface deck of a platform, which includes all equipment for drilling, production and processing. Any portion of the oil platform, which is above the water line, is considered the "Topside".
The topside operation of an offshore drilling rig can include upstream through downstream activities. Offshore platforms can include well drilling, to explore for and extract oil and gas, as well as treatment, storage and offloading of these hydrocarbons.
All components in a topside construction must be suitable to perform in the hostile environments experienced at sea. Topside constructions must be able to cope with a full range of extreme conditions from arctic cold, to high temperature applications in the gas treatment process.
Warren Valve offers a diverse range of products suitable for topside flow control and isolation. Products include Trunnion mounted ball valves, floating ball valves, gate, globe, and check valves. These valves typically receive an offshore, epoxy based coating, to help product withstand extremely corrosive conditions offshore.
